ISLAND OF FEAR

Tom-toms beat throughout the night
On the loathsome island of fear,
Warning you of imminent danger
Dark abominations drawing near.

Witches, warlocks, Voodoo priests
Sending evil down your way,
Predators of unknown origin
Hunting you by night or day.

Prehistoric flying reptiles
Soaring low above your head,
Eagerly watching, following you
Hoping soon to be well fed.

Leviathan monsters swim around
The loathsome Island of Fear,
Soon as darkfall does come down
Horrid creatures will appear.

Natives committing human sacrifices
Late within the evil night,
Cannibalistic rituals performed
Hinting of your impending plight.

Carnivores shrieking in hunger
Hoping very soon to feed,
Slowly lumbering after you
Hoping you may fill their need.

Tom-toms warn of approaching danger
Coming from the darkened forest,
Terror slowly heading your way
As the devil drums attest.
